Default Fuse Upgrade: how to upgrade the tails from the meter.

I want to upgrade the incoming fuse to 100A ready for switch from gas to
electric oven and hob + better electric shower.

I know UKPN will do the fuse, and my supplier (EDF) should be able to do
the 16mm tails /to/ the meter. My problem is bloody BG fitted an
isolator with 16mm tails from the meter. (Despite me having my 25mm
tails ready and waiting to run from the isolator to the CU.) And
everyone tells me I'm supposed to get an electrician to do the tails
/from/ the meter.

Two questions on that:

a. how's the electrician supposed to deal with the meter seal? do their
tails so EDF find the meter unsealed? be here at the same time as EDF
so EDF cut and then re-seal? or what? (I can't get a straight answer
from EDF.)

b. can they insist I get a card-carrier as it's not replacing a CU, not
in a special location, not a new circuit...?
